Chapter 474: Legendary Life, The Fearless King (4K)_2
"2: Within the area covered by the Heavenly God's Rampart, space will be isolated from the outside world, regarded as a top-tier Enchantment."
"3: Once the Heavenly God's Rampart is erected, it can maintain itself for an extended period by absorbing energy from the outside world, enabling self-repair and long-term sustenance."
"4: When The Fearless King stands upon the earth, all soldiers will advance relentlessly, heart undaunted by fear."
A purely defensive ability.
At most, it has a bit of a support feature... but the fourth ability seems to have little to do with the Heavenly God's Rampart itself.
"Defensive abilities are also good, but the actual effect has to be tested in practice."
"After all, it's Legendary Great Force; it's unlikely to be weak. Specialization means a higher upper limit."
...
Lu Liu was still researching his Legendary ability.
At the same time,
Shattered Isles, Dragon Sleep Valley, Vanguard Army, Main Camp.
A being shaped like a Frost Giant Dragon, but much larger than a normal one, lay prostrate on the mountaintop, overlooking the land.
This was the Ice Burial Duke.
An overseer of the Vanguard Army, he was also one of the top three Grand Dukes of the Hunt under the rule of the Twilight King.
"Have we not yet breached the enemy's defenses?"
"My lord, the Tai Xuan Alliance is after all not weak, I'm afraid it may be difficult to break through in a short time."
"Hmph...."
The Ice Burial Duke sneered, "It's because you failed to control your subordinates and disrupted my arrangements, otherwise we would have already stepped into the Taixuan Realm and spread the filth, the glory of the king."
His gaze swept across, and the powerful Crimson Dragons in the distance, as well as the other Grand Dukes of the Hunt, couldn't help but lower their heads.
It wasn't that what the Ice Burial Duke said was correct, but his punch was the strongest.
Strong is right.
One of the Grand Dukes of the Hunt spoke, "Whatever the case, we currently hold a firm advantage. As long as we turn the entire island domain into Red Mist Land, the power of Dragon Sleep Valley will be able to spread here. When that happens, crushing Taixuan will merely be a matter of time."
The Ice Burial Duke didn't refute, "We can't just sit around waiting. Proceed with the plan to strike Taixuan's defenses, and send the Faceless Ones, Soul-Devouring Demons, and Heart Bewitchers to infiltrate and see if they can disrupt Taixuan's lines from within."
"Also..." he paused, "Search the entire island domain for me, especially for any passages leading to other Great Domains. Do you understand?"
Amidst the swirling Red Mist, the roar of the dragons resonated from here to there.
Half a day later.
Two Crimson Dragons received news that on the outskirts of the island domain, a significant surge of Monster Tide was spilling out.
"This area could very well contain a passage leading to another Domain."
Dragon A said.
Dragon B, "We need to report this to the Ice Burial Duke."
Dragon A, "No, it's not proper to report directly. We're unclear on the precise location of this passage to another Domain, and it's possible that it's not a passage at all, but rather a Secret Realm or some concealed Vitality Force. Both scenarios could attract a Monster Tide, we must clarify the situation, otherwise how would we answer if the Duke asks us?"
This made sense indeed.
During their time on this island domain, they had discovered several Vitality Forces, but unfortunately, they were all too small, not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
The two Crimson Dragons pondered for a moment, then called several Legendary Realm beings from their subordinate forces, and rushed off into the distance together.
After they left...
Under the Red Mist, in the dimness, a pair of red eyes appeared on a withered tree. It was a pitch-black crow, almost indistinguishable from the common monsters seen everywhere here, except for the red glow swirling in the depths of its red eyes.
...
Red Mountain City.
Mu Yuan pushed the door open and saw Green Mountain, Rain Dust, and Broken Rock.
"The plan is almost ready, the reinforcements will arrive today, a familiar face, Sword Lord Liushi."
Broken Rock Lord said.
Last time, during the surprise attack on Dragon Sleep Valley, it was Sword Lord Liushi who led the team, a Macho Man with extensive dragon-slaying experience.
Green Mountain Lord added, "The Lords of Pan Shi City and Tianze City have also sent several powerful reinforcements who have arrived. Later, a few more warriors from Soul Realm should be able to come, at the latest the day after tomorrow, we'll be able to launch our offensive."
"No."
Mu Yuan tapped his fingertips on the table.
He had been waiting for Sword Lord Liushi all along.
Without the strong warrior Sword Lord Liushi, they indeed could not strike directly at Dragon Sleep Valley.
God Soul Realm warriors naturally are also super reinforcements, but if it were to delay them for one or two days... no, that wouldn't do.
He pondered for a while then said, "Once Sword Lord Liushi arrives, we will launch the attack. If we delay any further, the enemy is very likely to find another passage entrance, and we will miss the opportunity for a surprise attack."
"But isn't the other passage entrance in the Ten Directions Island Domain?"
Lord Rain Dust said, "According to the plan we previously set, there are two routes to attack: Sword Lord Liushi leading the strong warriors to launch a frontal assault to attract the enemy's attention, while the rest of us go around to the other entrance and enter the Shattered Isles from the side to establish a position as quickly as possible."
"Our second route's warriors heading to Ten Directions Island Domain, if they set off now, will likely arrive at the passage entrance the day after tomorrow, isn't that roughly the timeframe I had planned?"
They had been discussing and preparing to leave when they contacted Lord Tianyuan.
Mu Yuan said, "If it's just a few people, I have a way to send you to Ten Directions Island Domain. Now, we need to discuss the team selection for the position squad."
He looked at the three people.
"Sword Lord Liushi is responsible for the assault/decoy squad. We will be responsible for the position squad, which I will lead. I need two of you three to assist me. No problem?"
"I have no problem."
"Me neither."
"Naturally."
She looked towards Tianyuan.
The position squad might seem less directly confrontational with Dragon Sleep Valley, but in reality, because the position squad needs to go deep into the Shattered Isles to find a suitable area to establish a stronghold, the risk factor is higher than the assault squad.
Not to mention the assault squad has Sword Lord Liushi.
The position squad? Sparse in strong warriors.
Lord Rain Dust wouldn't fear, and she guessed Tianyuan would not shy away either, but taking on the most difficult task so directly and decisively was still... somewhat admirable to her.
Green Mountain Lord took a deep breath and said, "I am a God Soul Realm warrior; I must join the position squad. In my Green Mountain City, aside from myself, there is another God Soul Realm warrior—Emerald Giant Dragon Qingmu, as well as a Heaven and Earth Realm warrior 'Life Sage Wu Sen' with a domain radius exceeding tens of thousands of meters."
"However, as this is a surprise attack, I cannot bring my Ancient Mountain Giant incarnation."
Rain Dust and Broken Rock Lord were both somewhat surprised.
The power that Green Mountain Lord possessed indeed surpassed them by far.
And he still held a vast amount of potential that had yet to be realized, the future was boundless!
Broken Rock Lord spoke, "Let me be the remaining member then. I also have several Heaven and Earth Realm peak level warriors under my command, and I have experience in launching surprise attacks on Dragon Sleep Valley."
"No." Lord Rain Dust spoke, "It should be me. The position squad needs more high-end combat power, and I... I have a God Soul Realm general."
She seemed to issue a command.
Soon after, a powerful figure arrived on the scene.
She was a strong warrior wearing a sky-blue cloak, with a feminine and slender figure but appeared rather unremarkable.
However, wisps of the might of a Divine Soul surrounded her.
"Is this the 'Water Sky Doctrine' Epic Life?"
Mu Yuan was actually quite certain.
Lord Rain Dust said, "Lord Tianyuan is truly discerning, this is indeed my right-hand, Water Sky Doctrine Ya La, skilled in water control, able to change weather conditions within a certain range. She too was fortunate enough to have a recent breakthrough and entered the Divine Soul Realm."
She said it was by luck.
But luck is merely modesty from the successful.
Broken Rock Lord sighed silently.
The three looked towards Tianyuan. Enjoy new stories from empire
Mu Yuankai spoke, "I will take Uta, Rakshasa, Seventeen to the front lines, and Hong Yi will remain here."
"Of course, I will also dispatch several generals to join the position troop, who are currently at the front line in the Ten Directions Island Domain."
"My Tianyuan City is quite new with not many strong warriors. Indeed, I cannot produce any God Soul Realm warriors..."
The three weren't surprised.
The Heaven and Earth Realm generals under Tianyuan City's command were also one stronger than the next. If the other generals were of Rakshasa's and Uta's caliber, or just slightly less, they would still be fierce warriors of the current age.
They thought, only to hear Tianyuan City's Lord say:
"However, I do have several Heaven and Earth Realm peak, as well as tens of thousands meter level warriors in my Tianyuan City."
